Maybe 20 years from now I'll regret it, but mine just sit in their boxes in plastic tubs.
I have a food sealer. I am thinking though that if I was to seal anything I would add in air absorbers before sealing. THose bags are not 100% impermeable and there will be a slow air leak over time.

I see the Aegis Boost RBA is available, I need to get a few :)
I think for rebuilding stock coils the Nautilus, ssocc and berserker coils are doable. The Zenith mesh Plex coils maybe doable. I need to save all those videos :)
Where did you find the Boost rba? I need to grab some too :)

Do you use it for everything or just mods?

I'm confused. I've been expecting a buying panic for nic and not noticing it so far. Nothing restricts a business like Heartland from shipping their product, for now. How can they not be busier than usual because of vapers finally getting serious about stocking up?

In the meantime I'm close to pulling the trigger on an FT order. I'm still shopping for MTL squonk atomizers. Anyone have favorites that FT is carrying right now?
The bigger part of their business is probably B2B, not retail. The whole industry is down with many closing down. Sad. Their marketing doesn't help as well. I ,like many others, didn't get the email about the recent sale. Would've ordered otherwise.
This one is interesting: a MTL mesh sRDA with a quite interesting design. Few reviews so far. Well 1 or 2 on YT. And listed as a pre-order item. Keeping an eye on this.

The holic is awesome, mtl to rDL. Excellent flavor and not leaky. Been using it exclusively for 3 months and it is so good that I have no desire to try out any of the others that are still sealed.

Getting decent meat in this town is horrible (THink green chicken in the stores) So we do a run to the big city 2-3 times a year to stock the freezer. I use it for that. I also bought the mason jar sealer attachment so we keep things like crackers and cookies in mason jars and vacuum seal them. Girl scout cookies year around for the win. They do not go stale after sealed. I have also sealed fresh produce from the garden or farmers market until I got enough to can (or had time).

I have a food saver one. We found generic rolls of the bags a whole heck of a lot cheaper on amazon than the name brand ones. If you get a food saver let me know and I will get the link for you to the ones we get.

Edit: TO be honest in the thing paid for itself in no more food being thrown out for freezer burn or staleness inside the first year. Being just the 2 of us it lets us buy in bulk and be able to use it all before it goes bad.

I am watching for that MTL mesh too, everything so far is sub ohm DL for mesh, so would love a MTL mesh :)

Awesome, I will do! It’s a good idea. I hate wasted food.

Tried getting this Zenith coil apart is a pita! LOL The coil is vertical, I thought I could force the bottom pin out, so far no go! It was a gunky mess, will try and work on it later to see if i can get it apart. The cotton was really jammed in there. Still haven't gotten the coil out.

I’m lucky there’s an old fashioned meat market close by. Local meat, fresh daily. They run specials all the time - boneless chicken $1.79lb, pork chops, $.88 each. I go every week and grab the deals, seal them and freeze them. Totally worth the price!

    I grew up on organic farm,,, grew up moved to the city,, still ran out to the farm for meats,, some veggies,,, - hubby would drive up there twice a year from Houston when we moved away,, years later pops closed down the farm so we had to buy meats,,,, talk about sticker shock and tastebud assault! - we found a local shop to buy from now.

    I also am tempted to get a food sealer for some of the regulated mods. Are people doing that? Or is it overkill?
    If you're talking vacuum sealing I would be worried about the constant vacuum pressure possibly pulling something loose, loosening electronics, damaging screens, breaking glass, warping things, etc.

    I am putting stuff in Ziploc bags with silica gel packets I got from Amazon .

    Interesting. I’ll certainly consider that.
